To someone on The Forum who owns one of the BIG Reynolds tubas with an upright bell:
Please provide me with some measurements. Use a cloth tape measure and give me the circumferences where the stack enters the ferrules. Then... measure the distance between those two points. The attached image says it all:

Re: Reynolds Upright Bell Question
I'm afraid I can't help you, but just FYI, your post says you want circumference, but the image is asking for diameter. I assume it's the circumference you really want?
There's one of these on ebay right now, you could just buy and measure that one!

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

Re: Reynolds Upright Bell Question
Ultimately... I want the diameter. However... the circumference is a heck of a lot easier to measure!Tubajug wrote:I'm afraid I can't help you, but just FYI, your post says you want circumference, but the image is asking for diameter. I assume it's the circumference you really want?
